What would happen if you suddenly lost your hemoglobins and had to rely upon myoglobin exclusively. Please include a description of what would happen to oxygen distribution in the body and any large scale physiological effects.
How does oxygen binding at one heme group lead to the large scale conformational changes in the hemoglobin oligomer? Briefly, walk me through the process.
Why is cooperative binding so important for the function of hemoglobin?
What is an antigen? Would a single amino acid be an effective antigen? Why or why not?
What is the role of ATP hydrolysis in muscle contractions?
